Financial expert warns: Risks and problems when shopping with the Temu shopping app

According to a report by www.iphone-ticker.de,
The shopping app Temu is currently being criticized after the consumer magazine “Die Reporter” randomly ordered products from various categories and assessed their quality. Despite tempting prices, the quality of the goods was mixed and shipments were often damaged or lost in transit. Furthermore, Temu's customer service is difficult to reach. The consumer advice center therefore advises you to view the app with skepticism and pay attention to CE markings, not to pay in advance and not to grant the app location access.

Using shopping apps like Temu can have a significant impact on the market and the consumer. The substandard quality and poor delivery experience can affect consumer trust in such platforms. This could result in consumers being less inclined to purchase through these apps, which in turn could impact the sales and popularity of Temu and similar platforms.

In addition, the consumer advice center also points out the sustainability problems associated with ordering cheap products from China. The products that are delivered far and possibly returned pollute the environment and contribute to the problem of finite resources. This information could prompt consumers to rethink their shopping habits and make more sustainable choices.

Overall, it can be said that the criticism of the Temu app and similar platforms has the potential to have a negative impact on the market and could lead to a change in consumer purchasing behavior. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether the app will take measures to restore consumer trust.
